The following photographs were taken on Sunday, 11th March 2012.

As the above records suggest, only two columns existed on this road; this is how it would remain after the PFI relighting scheme. Here, the two cast iron Revo 'Moseley' columns were set to be replaced with new specially-made cast iron columns supporting SUGG Camberwell lanterns.

 

The new lantern runs a 70 Watt CDO-ET lamp; the Revo column supported a Phosco P111 running a 70 Watt SON lamp. Notice in the P111, how a replacement Philips ballast has been crudely placed alongside the (presumably) original Tridonic ballast. Given that the P111 is clearly fitted with a miniature photocell, and the above records suggest a time switch controlled installation, the likelihood is that the lantern fitted here in 1997 was not the P111.

The following Revo column supported an example of the P111's big brother - the imposing P109.

 

The copper securing finial was missing from atop the P109's canopy. Its bowl had also become cloudy through age.
